Carlo Ancelotti’s Real Madrid host Leganes at the Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday as they aim to go level on points with La Liga leaders Barcelona.
But they will have played a game more than Barcelona.
Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham are in sensational form for Real Madrid who have overcome defensive injuries to stay in the title race in Spain and also reach the Champions League quarterfinals where they face Arsenal.
They are expected to push Barcelona all the way in the title race and they head to Barca in May for what will be a crucial game between the bitter rivals. Between now and then they cannot afford any slip ups in La Liga.
